Café Daylight Factory

Daylight Factory is just one of those places that catches your eye. Always crowded, whether it's during lunch time or in the evenings. I've been interesting in trying it for a while now. What I didn't expect was how disappointed I would be. First, the menu service makes it hard when you are in a big group as they don't serve anything to nibble on and if you didn't order an entree there is some wait time till the main meal comes. While they have selection of wine and beers, they do not have one for non-alcoholic beverages (juice/soda). I expected the food to at least be amazing but my plate was rather salty, no nuances in taste... seems like something that was prepped, frozen and made by reheating. I've been told that they are better in summer and with a changing menu it's likely that if I were to repeat I'll have better experience... however I was sorely disappointed on my first visit. I might go back just for the vibe and the friendly staff.

What's with the poor reviews of this delightful, airy, casual restaurant with its freshly prepared, original food and pleasant staff? The place is great, the service fast and friendly...it has one of the best terraces in downtown Montreal, boasts upbeat music that you can enjoy without having to strain in order to hear the conversation you're in and all the while surrounded by people who truly seem to be having as much fun and enjoying the food as much as you are. Whoever these reviewers are "hole in the wall?" need to get up on the other side of the bed for a change and try things again. The place is great.
